Quarantine  Orders  and 
Regulations 


GENERAL  REQUIREMENTS  CONCERNING 
PLANTS  AND  PLANT  PRODUCTS 
SHIPPED  INTO  THE  STATE. 

1.  The  Arizona  Crop  Pest  Law  requires  that  all 
nursery  stock  shipped  into  Arizona  from  any  other 
state  or  county  shall  be  prominently  labeled  with 
the  name  and  address  of  both  the  shipper  and  con¬ 
signee,  and  shall  be  accompanied  by  a  certificate 
of  inspection  dated  within  one  year,  or  a  copy  of 
such  certificate,  by  a  duly  authorized  official  of 
the  state  or  county  in  which  said  stock  was  grown. 
All  shipments  from  other  states  or  counties  into 
the  state,  consisting  of  or  containing  plants,  fruits, 
vegetables,  or  seed,  which  were  not  grown  in  the 
locality  from  which  shipment  was  made,  must,  in 
addition,  specify  where  such  plants  or  products 
were  grown.  Shipments  into  the  State  of  Arizona 
shall  conform  to  any  rules  or  regulations  promul¬ 
gated  by  the  Commission  of  Agriculture  and  Horti¬ 
culture,  (Sec.  9.  Par.  3312). 

2.  It  is  required  of  common  carriers  that  all 
shipments  of  plants  into  the  State  of  Arizona  be 
held  and  not  delivered  to  consignee  until  inspected 
by  an  Arizona  Crop  Pest  Inspector  and  a  certifi¬ 
cate  of  release  issued  in  each  case  to  the  common 
carrier  and  to  the  consignee.  All  stock  which  is 
found  apparently  free  from  insect  pests  and  plant 
diseases  of  all  kinds  is  promptly  released  for 
delivery.

PLANT  INSPECTION. 


3.  It  is  assumed  that  before  shipments  are  sent 
into  the  State  of  Arizona  every  practicable  effort 
has  been  made  by  the  shipper  to  eliminate  dis¬ 
eased  and  insect  infested  trees  and  plants.  Ari¬ 
zona  inspectors  are  not  authorized  to  attempt  to 
separate  out  apparently  uninfested  trees  or  other 
plants  of  the  kinds  which  are  found  infested  or 
diseased  in  any  degree  or  to  attempt  to  treat  such 
trees  or  plants  with  few  exceptions.  Such  excep¬ 
tions  include  pests  which  are  of  common  occur¬ 
rence  in  the  locality  where  the  shipment  is  re¬ 
ceived. 

4.  Certificates  accompanying  shipments  stating 
that  certain  infested  trees  or  other  plants  have 
been  fumigated,  dipped  or  otherwise  treated  with 
insecticides  are  valueless  in  Arizona. 

5.  In  addition  to  the  prohibitions  and  restric¬ 
tions  imposed  by  the  quarantine  orders  of  the 
Arizona  Commission  of  Agriculture  and  Horticul¬ 
ture,  nurserymen  should  observe  the  quarantines 
and  restrictive  orders  of  the  Federal  Horticultural 
Board.  Information  concerning  these  may  be  found 
in  the  monthly  “Service  and  Regulatory  Announce¬ 
ments”  published  by  the  Federal  Horticultural 
Board  of  the  United  States  Department  of  Agri¬ 
culture.  Quarantine  No.  6  (Date  Palms)  with  regu¬ 
lations,  prohibits  the  interstate  movement  of  date 
palms  or  date-palm  offshoots  from  Riverside 
County,  Cal.,  east  of  the  San  Bernardino  meridian;

Counties,  Ariz.,  and  Webb,  County,  Texas,  except

scribed  in  the  Notice  of  Quarantine,  on  account  of 
two  injurious  scale  insects,  to-wit,  the  Parlatoria 
scale  (Parlatoria  blanchardi)  and  the  Phoeni- 
cococcus  scale  (Phoenicococcus  marlati).  Quar¬ 
antine  No.  26  (White  Pine  Blister  Rust)  prohibits 
the  shipment  of  five  leaf  pines  or  currant  or  goose¬ 
berry  plants  (Ribes  and  Grossularia))  interstate 
from  any  state  east  of  and  including  the  States  of 
Minnesota,  Iowa,  Missouri,  Arkansas  and  Louisi-

ized  and  it  is  their  duty  whenever  the  occa¬ 
sion  may  arise,  to  enter  in  and  upon  any 
premises,  building,  or  place,  where  plants 
may  be  growing,  or  vegetables,  fruits,  seeds 
and  agricultural  products,  or  any  article 
connected  with  handling,  packing  and 
shipping  of  the  same,  may  be  stored,  for  the 
purpose  of  inspecting,  or  causing  an  inspec¬ 
tion  to  be  made  to  determine  whether  any 
injurious  pest  is  present.  To  this  end,  and 
otherwise  to  carry  out  the  provisions  of 
this  chapter,  said  inspectors  may  open  any 
car,  box,  bundle,  or  package  with  the  least 
possible  injury  to  property  or  business. 
Whenever  an  i  nspector  discovers  a  pest 
which  is  injurious  to  the  agricultural  or 
horticultural  interests  of  the  state,  and

which  it  is.  practicable  to  eradicate  or  sup¬ 
press,  he  may,  with  the  advice  and  under 
direction  of  the  entomologist  or  his  assist¬ 
ants,  notify  in  writing  the  owner,  owners  or 
person  or  persons  in  charge  or  in  possession 
of  tho  premises,  buildings,  or  (places  as 
aforesaid,  that  the  same  are  infested  or  con¬ 
tain  or  harbor  an  injurious  insect  or  other 
pest,  and  said  inspector  may  require  such 
person  or  persons  to  eradicate,  destroy  or 
suppress  such  pest  within  a  reasonable 
specified  time  by  means  of  the  most  eco¬ 
nomical  and  effective  method  available.  In 
the  case  of  the  codling  moth,  this  provision 
shall  apply  to  trees  and  orchards  on,  and  in 
which,  infested  fruit  has  been  discovered  by 
the  said  inspector,  or  his  predecessor,  at  any 
time  previous  to  the  serving  of  the  afore¬ 
said  notice. 

Any  and  all  such  plants,  fruit,  vegetables, 
seed,  agricultural  products  or  other  articles, 
infested  by  or  harboring  any  injurious  insect 
or  other  pest  are  hereby  adjudged  and  de¬ 
clared  to  be  a  public  nuisance  and  shall  be 
contraband  pending  action  taken  in  compli¬ 
ance  with  the  aforesaid  notice  or  action 
taken  by  the  inspector  as  herein  authorized 
and  directed  and  shall  remain  contraband 
until  said  nuisance  is  abated.  Whenever  any 
such  nuisance,  practicable  to  abate,  shall 
exist  within  the  jurisdiction  of  any  inspector, 
on  the  property  of  any  non-resident,  or  any 
property  the  owner  or  owners  of  which 
cannot  be  found  by  the  said  inspector  after 
diligent  search  and  publication  of  said  notice 
in  the  official  newspaper  of  the  county 
where  such  nuisance  exists,  or  on  the  prop¬ 
erty  of  any  owner  or  owners  upon  whom 
notice  aforesaid  has  been  served,  and  who 
shall  refuse  or  neglect  to  abate  the  same, 
or  who  shall  in  writing  request  the  said  in¬ 
spector  to  take  such  action  as  may  be  neces-

PLANT  INSPECTION. 


sary  at  his  or  their  expense,  it  shall  be  the 
duty  of  the  inspector  and  he  is  hereby  au¬ 
thorized  to  cause  said  nuisance  to  be  at 
once  abated  in  a  summary  manner,  or  to 
take  such  steps  towards  the  abatement  of 
the  nuisance  as  the  danger  to  agricultural 
and  horticultural  interests  and  the  welfare 
of  the  community  may  require.  Whenever 
the  circumstances  require,  the  abatement  of 
such  public  nuisance  may  include  the  de¬ 
struction  of  the  plants,  vegetables,  fruit, 
seed,  agricultural  products,  or  other  articles, 
infested  by  an  injurious  insect,  or  harboring 
an  injurious  insect  or  other  pest,  or  any 
portion  of  any  or  all  such  articles  as  may 
be  necessary  to  the  public  interest. 

The  expense  incurred  in  connection  with 
such  action,  unless  voluntarily  assumed  by 
the  owner  or  owners  of  the  aforesaid  prop¬ 
erty,  shall  be  charged  against  the  state,  and 
paid  out  of  the  fund  authorized  by  this 
chapter  upon  vouchers  of  the  commission. 
Except  that  when  special  provisions  are 
made  for  the  eradication  or  control  of  speci¬ 
fied  pests,  any  and  all  such  sums  so  paid, 
shall  be  charged  against  the  owner  or 
owners  of  the  property  and  premises  from 
which  such  nuisance  has  been  removed  or 
abated  in  the  pursuance  of  this  chapter  and 
shall  be  recovered  by  the  state  or  county  as 
the  case  may  be  by  a  civil  action  against 
such  owner  or  owners. 

In  the  case  of  the  shipment  of  plants, 
fruits,  vegetables,  seeds,  or  agricultural 
products,  or  other  articles  received  into  the 
State  of  Arizona  from  outside  said  state  con¬ 
forming  to  the  requirements  of  the  next  sec¬ 
tion  and  after  due  notice  given  as  specified 
in  this  chapter,  the  inspector  detailed  by 
the  commission  for  service  at  the  station,

vegetables,  seed,  agricultural  products,  or 
other  articles  as  soon  as  possible  after  re¬ 
ceiving  said  notice.  Upon  completing  the 
inspection  of  a  shipment,  and  finding  it  free 
from  any  insect  or  other  pests,  the  inspector 
shall  issue  a  certificate  of  release  in  dupli¬ 
cate,  the  original  to  be  given  the  common 
carrier,  or  person  or  persons,  bringing  the 
shipment  into  the  state,  and  the  duplicate 
to  be  given  to  the  consignee  or  person  who 
received  and  removes  the  shipment  or  por¬ 
tion  thereof  from  the  premises  where  in¬ 
spected.  A  special  certificate  of  release 
affecting  only  a  portion  of  any  shipment 
may  be  issued  when  said  shipment  is  found 
to  be  infested  in  part,  and  owing  to  the 
nature  of  the  pest  found  therein,  agricultural 
and  horticultural  interests  of  the  State  of 
Arizona  or  of  the  locality  where  received, 
will  not  be  endangered  by  authorizing,  by 
means  of  said  special  certificates,  the  de¬ 
livery  and  removal  of  certain  varieties  or 
kinds  of  plants,  fruits,  vegetables,  seeds, 
agricultural  products,  or  articles  contained 
in  said  shipment.  In  the  case  of  shipments 
containing  insects  or  other  pests  of  common 
occurrence  in  the  State  of  Arizona,  or  in  the 
locality  where  received,  or  pests  which  for 
any  reason  are  known  to  be  innocuous  in 
Arizona,  or  in  the  section  of  the  state  where 
received,  certificates  of  release  may  be  is¬ 
sued  by  a  horticultural  inspector  in  accord¬ 
ance  with  specific  instructions  furnished 
said  inspector  by  the  entomologist,  and  such 
rules  and  restrictions  as  may  be  adopted 
by  the  commission  of  agriculture  and  horti¬ 
culture.

of  or  containing  plants,  fruits,  vegetables,  or 
seeds,  which  were  not  grown  in  the  locality 
from  which  shipment  was  made,  must,  in 
addition,  specify  where  such  plants  or  prod¬

Grown  Gall. 

Since  “crown  gall”  is  of  common  occurrence  in 
all  parts  of  the  country,  occurring  in  practically 
all  nurseries,  particularly  in  the  west,  since  this 
disease  is  already  prevalent  in  Arizona  and  since 
it  is  impossible  by  means  of  inspection  to  entirely 
prevent  further  introduction  of  the  infection,  one 
per  cent  is  hereby  established  as  the  maximum 
degree  of  infection  to  be  passed  by  the  Arizona 
Crop  Pest  Inspectors  in  the  case  of  all  nursery 
stock,  with  the  exception  of  apple  trees,  in  which 
case  five  per  cent  is  hereby  established  as  the 
standard.  Every  tree  or  plant  showing  crown  gall 


PLANT  INSPECTION. 


41 


will  bfe  discarded  by  t lie  inspectors,  if  more  than 
the  above  stated  maximum  percentage  of  trees  of 
any  kind  (apple  or  peach  for  instance)  is  plainly 
infected  with  crown  gall,  all  of  that  kind  will  be 
rejected  and  not  released.  Such  of  other  kinds  of 
trees  or  plants  as  may  be  in  the  same  shipment, 
but  do  not  show  crowm  gall  infection  to  exceed 
the  above  specified  allowance  will  be  released.  If 
the  shipment,  or  any  kind  of  plant  or  tree  com¬ 
prising  the  shipment,  shows  infection  in  excess  of 
the  allowance  specified  herein,  samples  selected  in 
the  presence  of  the  consignee  or  some  other  person 
if  possible,  will  be  submitted  to  the  office  of  the 
State  Entomologist  and  the  remainder  of  the  dis¬ 
eased  stock  held  for  advices  from  the  owner  as  to 
option  specified  in  Section  15  Crop  Pest  Law  of 
1912.  When  crown  gall  infection  is  present,  but 
not  in  excess  of  the  above  specified  allowance,  all 
the  diseased  trees  or  plants  must  be  burned,  as  a 
condition  of  the  issuance  of  the  release  for  the 
balance  of  the  stock.  In  cases  where  there  are  less 
than  100  trees  or  plants  of  any  one  kind  inspectors 
will  use  their  best  judgment  according  to  circum¬ 
stances,  since  it  is  not  intended  that  an  otherwise 
apparently  good  lot  of  trees  or  other  plants  should 
necessarily  be  condemned  on  account  of  a  single 
infected  one. 

For  the  protection  of  the  consignee,  trees  that 
are  “strongly  suspected”  of  crown  gall  infection 
will  be  discarded  at  the  time  of  the  inspection,  but 
in  figuring  the  percentage  of  trees  infected  when 
the  amount  is  close  to  one  per  cent,  or  to  five  per 
cent  in  the  case  of  apple  stock,  none  but  well  de¬ 
veloped  and  characteristic  infections  will  be 
counted.  Roughened  graft  unions  should  not  be 
counted  as  crown  gall  infections  unless  the  de¬ 
velopment  of  “callus”  at  that  point  is  excessive,  as 
illustrated  in  Bui.  186  (Plate  VIII,  fig.  2)  of  the 
Bureau  of  Plant  Industry,  United  States  Depart¬ 
ment  of  Agriculture.  Whenever  a  shipment,  or 
any  kind  of  tree,  vine  or  plant  in  a  shipment,  shows 
well  defined  crown  gall  infection  in  excess  of  the 


42 


PLANT  INSPECTION. 


above  specified  allowance,  such  stock  will  not  be 
reshipped  or  destroyed  on  account  of  crown  gall 
infection  until  samples  have  been  passed  upon  by 
the  State  Entomologist  or  the  Plant  Pathologist  of 
the  Commission. 

REGULATION  No.  5. 

Defoliation  for  Protection  Against  White  Flies. 

Inasmuch  as  the  several  species  of  white  flies 
(insect  family  Aleyrodidae)  destructive  to  citrus 
infest  the  foliage  of  a  long  list  of  food  plants  which 
is  constantly  being  added  to  as  information  con¬ 
cerning  these  pests  increases,  and  inasmuch  as  the 
most  prominent  species,  known  as  the  citrus  white 
fly,  is  of  wide  occurrence  out  of  doors  throughout 
the  Gulf  Coast  states  and  in  greenhouses  in  nearly 
all  parts  of  the  country,  Arizona  Crop  Inspectors 
are  instructed  to  completely  defoliate,  before  issu¬ 
ing  a  release,  all  nursery  stock  and  other  plants 
with  leaves  attached  which  may  be  imported  into 
the  state  from  any  outside  source  except  in  the 
case  of  shipments  from  the  state  of  California,  in 
which  case  any  nursery  stock  or  other  plants  not. 
prohibited  by  quarantine  orders  and  shipped  from 
any  county  other  than  Yuba  may  be  released  with 
foliage  attached  after  inspection,  and  with  the  fur¬ 
ther  exception  that  herbaceous  ornamental  plants 
not  known  as  food  plants  of  citrus  infesting  white 
flies  and  plants  whose  value  would  be  impaired  by 
defoliation  may  be  released  with  the  leaves  at¬ 
tached,  if  after  the  usual  inspection  they  are  found 
apparently  free  from  pests  of  all  kinds.  All  leaves 
removed  from  plants  in  accordance  with  these  in¬ 
structions  shall  be  immediately  burned.  Inspectors 
will  be  guided  by  instructions  from  the  State  Ento¬ 
mologist  in  regard  to  plants  known  to  be  food 
plants  of  citrus  infesting  white  flies.

Office  of  Third  Ass’t.  P.  M.  Gen.,. 

Washington,  Sept.  22,  1915. 

The  State  of  Arizona  ;has  established 
places  for  the  terminal  inspection  of  plants 
and  plant  products,  under  the  provisions  of 
the  act  of  March  4,  1915,  embodied  in  section 
478  rA,  Postal  Laws  and  Regulations,  appear¬ 
ing  on  page  49  of  the  May,  1915,  Supplement 
to  the  Postal  Guide. 

All  postmasters  are  therefore  informed  that 
packages  containing  plants  or  plant  products 
addressed  to  places  in  the  State  of  Arizona 
may  be  accepted  for  mailing  only  when 
plainly  marked  so  that  the  contents  may  be 
readily  ascertained  by  an  inspection  of  the 
outside  thereof.  The  law  makes  the  failure 
so  to  mark  such  packages  an  offense  pun¬ 
ishable  by  a  fine  of  not  more  than  $100. 

The  plants  and  plant  products  subject  to 
terminal  inspection  in  the  State  of  Arizona 
are  described  as  follows: 

“All  florists’  stock,  trees,  shrubs,  vines, 
cuttings,  grafts,  scions,  buds,  fruit  pits,  and 
other  seeds  of  fruit  and  ornamental  trees  or 
shrubs,  and  other  plants  and  plant  products 
for  propagation,  except  vegetable  and  flower 
seeds.” 

Postmasters  within  the  State  of  Arizona 
shall  be  governed  strictly  by  the  provisions 
of  paragraph  3,  4,  5  and  6,  section  478 
Postal  Laws  and  Regulations,  in  the  treat¬
